Blue Mountain Pinot Blanc 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne hundred percent pinot blanc from 33-year-old vines, this was wild fermented and then aged for five months sur-lie in a combination of stainless, foudre, puncheon, and neutral barrel. A restrained, elegant expression of pinot blanc that shows an attractive flinty reductive note, bright lemon and pear fruit, and subtle floral aromatics. There’s good tension on the palate, with vibrant acid and a real sense of precision - though with some grip to the finish. Make sure not to serve this too chilled.Tasted: 24 August 2019Tasted by: Prices:
